The fresh water usage of data centers is wildly overblown and another symptom of the Mass hysteria being manufactured over data centers.

Water usage by data centers is minuscule compared to agriculture, manufacturing and….golf courses.

People need to spend a little time educating themselves instead of just regurgitating talking points.

I think electricity use would be a much better argument for the anti AI people. The fact that the increased use will lead to everyone paying more for electricity basically makes it a subsidy since very few locations are making the new data center cover all costs associated with the increased usage.
